English - English
a malignant tumor that arises in the lymph nodes or in other lymphoid tissue
A malignant tissue neoplasm that produces a tumor mass, often associated with lymphoid tissue
a neoplasm of lymph tissue that is usually malignant; one of the four major types of cancer
{i} any of a number of malignant tumors which affect the lymph nodes and other lymphoid tissues (Medicine)
Tending to become progressively worse; in the case of cancer, it implies ability to invade, spread, and actively destroy normal tissue
A form of cancer that affects the lymph system which is categorized as Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's varieties
Cancer of the lymphoid tissues Lymphomas are often described as being large or small cell types, cleaved or noncleaved, diffuse or nodular The different types often have different prognoses (i e , prospect of survival or recovery) Some of these lymphomas are named after the physicians who first described them (e g , Burkitt's lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease) Lymphomas can also be referred to by the organ where they are active such as CNS lymphomas, which are in the central nervous system, and GI lymphomas, which are in the gastrointestinal tract The types of lymphomas most commonly associated with HIV infection are called non-Hodgkin's lymphomas or B cell lymphomas In these types of cancers, certain cells of the lymphatic system grow abnormally They divide rapidly, growing into tumors
A cancer of the lymph nodes (or tissues )
a tumor marked by swelling in the lymph nodes
Cancer that develops in the lymphatic system The most common type of lymphoma is Hodgkins Disease All other lymphomas are called non-Hodgkins lymphomas
Cancer of the lymphatic system, which is composed of the tissues and organs that produce and store cells that fight infection and disease The lymphatic system includes the bone marrow, spleen, thymus, lymph nodes, and a network of vessels that carry fluid and infection-fighting cells Lymphomas fall into two categories: Hodgkin's Disease and Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas
malignant neoplasm of lymphoid origin e g follicular lymphoma
A cancer that originates in a lymphocyte The site of the malignant transformation is usually a lymph node but may be the lymphatic tissue of the marrow, gastrointestinal tract, spleen, skin, or other sites The disease results from the uncontrolled growth and accumulation of malignant lymphocytes Enlargement of affected lymph nodes is usually the principal manifestation
A cancer of lymphatic tissue, specifically of the lymphocytes Lymphomas are divided into two categories: Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphomas
A cancer of the lymphatic system There are two main types: Hodgkin's disease and Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
Lymphoma is a general term for cancers that develop in the lymphatic system They account for about 4 percent of all cases of cancer in this country The most common type of lymphoma is called Hodgkin's disease All other lymphomas are grouped together and are called non-Hodgkin's lymphomas
Cancer of the lymph nodes
Cancer that arises in cells of the lymphatic system (NCI)
A tumor having a structure resembling that of a lymphatic gland; called also lymphadenoma
a malignant disease (cancer) originating in the lymph nodes
a cancerous tumor in the lymph nodes
(lim-FO-ma): Cancer that arises in cells of the lymphatic system
Cancer of the lymphatic tissue
a cancerous tumor arising from any of the cellular elements of lymph nodes lymphomatoid, adj
Malignant tumor of lymph node tissue
A cancer of the lymphoid tissue, largely a solid tumor with cells arising from proliferating lymphocytes Symptoms may include lymph-node swelling, weight loss and fever Some examples of lymphomas are Burkitt's lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma Treatment involves radiation therapy (radiotherapy) or chemotherapy or both
                          A   cancer  of   lymphocytes    Lymphoma   may  give   rise   to   a   tumour
Any of a group of malignant diseases (see cancer) that usually start in the lymph nodes or lymphoid tissues. The two major types, Hodgkin disease and non-Hodgkin lymphoma, each have several subtypes. Diagnosis of either type requires biopsy, usually from the lymph nodes. Non-Hodgkin lymphomas may be diffuse (widespread) or nodular (concentrated in nodules); nodular lymphomas generally develop more slowly
lymph cancer
Hodgkin's lymphoma
A malignant lymphoid neoplasm characterized by the formation of large tumour cells (Reed-Sternberg cells) in the lymph nodes
hodgkin's lymphoma
Hodgkin's lymphoma, also known as Hodgkin's disease, is a type of lymphoma first described by Thomas Hodgkin in 1832. Hodgkin's lymphoma is characterized clinically by the orderly spread of disease from one lymph node group to another and by the development of systemic symptoms with advanced disease. Pathologically, the disease is characterized by the presence of Reed-Sternberg cells. Hodgkin's lymphoma was one of the first cancers to be cured by radiation. Later it was one of the first to be cured by combination chemotherapy. The cure rate is about 93%, making it one of the most curable forms of cancer
Hodgkin's lymphoma
{i} (Medicine) malignant progressive disease which affects the lymph nodes as well as the spleen and the liver
lymphomas
plural of lymphoma
